Killing Commendatore by Haruki Murakami, published in 2017, is a surreal, multi-layered novel that follows a recently divorced portrait painter who retreats to a secluded house in the mountains.

The story is rich with Murakami’s signature themes of loneliness, self-discovery, the supernatural, and the blurred line between reality and fantasy.
